GMO's (genetically modified organism)

A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineeringtechniques. These techniques, generally known as  recombinant technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. Trangenic organism , a subset of GMOs, are organisms which have inserted DNA that originated in a different species.

How to Post Images

Using Photoshop
- All images must be flattened.

Shaping an Idea


Stage 1: Collect and Select
-Use images and words or phrases to determine an idea, theme
-Collect – open mind – subconscious
-Select – edit – three grouping – general ideas
-Revisit – Collect – add to collections
-Verbalize – add words to each collection


Stage 2: Develop the idea / mood
-Using colour, texture, patterns, lines and brushes
-Use three colours to create a colour scheme
-Determine the mood of colours dark /light, bright/subdue etc.
-Lines determine sight lines – static dynamic
-Textures, patterns, brushes help to create rhythm
